The Leatherman OHT multitool was created to bridge the gap between multitools that only allowed for one-hand opening of the pliers OR one-hand opening of the blades. OHT stands for “One Hand”….something or other. Leatherman doesn’t specifically state what the “T” in “OHT” stands for, but we’re guessing it’s somewhere along the line of “tool” or “touch”.

For far too long the multi-tool industry packed a bunch of tools inside an aluminum case and called it a day. Gerber set out to redesign the multi-tool with the end user in mind. This isn’t your Dad or your Grandfathers multi-tool. It’s born from the burning need of millions of hunters, campers, and tradesmen who need to get the job done the first time around.
